<p>Morning</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I snuck out of work early tonight, so I'm gonna try my luck hunting for a few hours.  Hoping to get an easy 5-6 miler in around noon, then off to scout another hunting spot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yesterday's tempo run on the TM went well, 7:20 pace felt pretty easy.  I think I'm ready to knock out a new PR (weather permitting)</p>

<p><strong>BBS</strong> - always good to see progress!</p>
<p><strong>Jebba</strong> - hey, at least you are trying... </p>
<p><strong>kfuller</strong> - enjoy the afternoon run.</p>

<p>Missed my alarm so no early TM run.  I'm going to try and muster up the motivation to run later this morning.  </p>

<p>I was looking at my times for the local turkey trot 5k, which I've run every year since 2004.  My average comes to exactly 19:00 mins (best 18:16, worst 19:51).  The 19:51 came when the course was icy and it was a breezy 5F.  That's my excuse.  Anyway, I'll be shooting for something around 18:30 (to get my average below 19 mins) but have no idea if I can pull that off.</p>

<p>RA - re: the 5k it all depends on the recovery from NYC and where you are on that. Last year I did a trail 8k on Saturday of this weekend and I definitely labored a bit. I really didn't hit my stride after NYC until the Christmas break. But it could be different for you. Either way, good luck.</p>

I wonder if they do Cornish turkeys?  You know, like Cornish hens but turkeys? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My legs are OK but I still feel fatigued due to chronically sore (maybe strained) lower abs. That stems from the Prairie State marathon where my form went to s*%t.  I guess we'll find out tomorrow whether I can sustain sub 6mpm pace.  Glad I skipped the 10k last weekend as that would have been bad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, 5 easy miles around work after which the scale in the locker room said I've gained 1-2 lbs since the marathon... hmm... same food 1/4 the exercise.  Not a balanced equation.</p>
